A PLACE FOR YOU

DAVID LASSER (2ND GRADE), BERNIE TELLNER AND ROBERT LASSER Pineville, PA “We live in Bucks County, which speaks to the draw of AFS among the large number and variety of independent schools in the area. For us, AFS had a warmth of spirit and focus on our child’s overall development that was important. We especially love AFS’s focus on the community and weaving parent-led events into the social and seasonal fabric of the educational experience. Education is far more than academic skills; AFS is also focused on equipping children with knowledge of how to navigate social relationships and lead by personal example. These qualities ultimately help develop tomorrow’s leaders to be well-balanced in understanding cultural differences and working through these differences to solve global problems. The great advantage an AFS graduate has is being confident about embracing the world and not shying away from realizing their independent thinking and spirit.”
